No 23 Lacebark Deva’s Blessing

“I bring the gift of fearlessness. Captain of your Soul – rightfully steering your vessel through the tempest of life. Through me you are steady, rising above the waves of excess – brought safely back to shore.”

Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber

 

Lacebark is a fast growing shrub or small tree that grows freely in lowland forests throughout the North Island of New Zealand. Clusters of sweetly scented white star-like flowers appear from January through March. The lace-like inner bark has been used for fine, decorative weaving – kete, headbands, trim on hats and cloaks. The bark was sometimes twisted and plaited into ropes.
